New Agenda Items
10-19-01 Consider Ordinance Amendment-Commission, Authority and Board
Appointments
Two weeks ago, King recalled, Council discussed two changes in the procedure for making
appointments to the City's commissions, authorities, and boards. One proposed change would
allow the chair of the commission, authority, or board to be a voting member in the interview
process. The City Manager would no longer have a vote. King noted that the City Manager had
agreed with this change.
The other proposed change, King continued, stated that if it was necessary to pare down the list
of applicants to a manageable number for interviews, all Council Members would rank the
applicants. He said they discussed this at the previous meeting, and it appeared to him to have
support from other Council members.

carried unanimously.
There being no further business, Ernst moved to adjourn at 6:40 p.m. Madden seconded. Motion
carried unanimously.
